- Typical capacity
- For this class, capacities commonly range from 500 to 1500 litres, with this unit at 800 litres being a mid-range option.
- Power supply
- Mixing functionality typically requires a 3-phase electrical supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz). Steam supply is essential for heating.
- Heating method
- Indirect steam heating, commonly via a jacketed vessel, providing even and controlled temperature distribution.
- Mixing mechanism
- Units of this type often feature anchor, scraper, or planetary agitators, designed for thorough product blending and preventing scorching.
- Construction material
- Typically manufactured from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316L) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.
- Discharge method
- This unit features tilting functionality, a common method for efficient product discharge, often assisted by a tipper for feeding.
- Footprint
- For an 800-litre unit with tilting, a typical operational footprint could be around 2m x 2m, plus space for steam lines and access.
